There is government data online to see where good schools are, low crime rates, and desirable city amenities.  

Schools are sub par.

Our schools train people to be employees not to be successful.

Evaluate historical and current vacancy rates, aiming for decreasing trends.Demographics: For younger populations, focus on proximity to parks and schools.

Syndication A is 900 employee with 30 years track record, Syndication B is 1 year syndication graduated from Cardone school of institution run by three people, the Syndication A offering lets say conservative 10% IRR Class B Core ; syndication B like you offering value add somewhere in Dallasville Class C value-add promising 15%IRR.

But you gotta be on the ground.Great on paper and some years you might get 15% returns and next year -15% returns.Plus, there is no true value in such areas as homes sell for $1,000 and others to unsuspecting out of state buyers for $60,000 where the provider makes a $20,000+ margin.Then it goes vacant, vandalized and back to a $1,000 houseLooks for areas with a more consistent sales value where homeowners also live and not just investor owned.B class in my eyes is:1) Close to infrastructure like schools, hospitals, shopping mall, larger employer, etc...2) Mix of homeowners and investor owned (leaning toward more homeowners).3) Well kept yards and no boarded up homes.

It's not high school.

For me a quick guide,  is I look at school rankings, easily found on Zillow if you type in a home address and what's surrounding the area as far as types of businesses. 

I mean are you next to a School somewhere?

I graduated high school in 2019 and went on to college and gained two associates in business administrations, and general studies.
